Lasts like these sweet and lovely flowers,
In mem'ry dear twill ever be
Linked with fair childhood's sunny hours.
But let me now a welcome speak:
To all our friends who here today
Our Joys and pleasures kindly share,
A hearty welcome thrice say
The singing birds above our heads
A thousand carols softly call:
The whisp ring leaves in breeZes play
Through which the golden sunbeams fall.
And while thus spring around us smiles
And over all the sky so bright
Why should aught our gladness mar
What should disturb our joy. delight?
oh, let us then on pleasure bent
Cast every thought of care away,
Far from the noisy, busy world,
Enjoy cheerful, happy day
After this service, the music having arrived,
the lower pavilion was secured ana dancing

performed by the little ones.
